1 Humane Handling GMPs A Regulatory Perspective Craig Shultz, DVM Food Safety and Inspection Service Cargill-Taylor Beef Wyalusing, PA

3 The Market Cow
4 Humane Handling GMPs GMP = Good Management Practice Non-food safety initiative addressing improved compliance, product quality, etc. Example Humane Handling Audit Identifies areas critical to compliance in plant s s animal handling system A preemptive approach to regulatory humane handling compliance
5 Know the Rules Acts MPIA, HSA Regulations 9CFR Part 313 Directives FSIS Directive Disabled Livestock FSIS Directive Humane Handling and Slaughter of Livestock Notices FSIS Notice Humane Handling Documentation
6 Addressing Overall Compliance in Facilities Animal Handling Stunning Disabled Animals Self-Assessment Assessment parameters will be plant-specific based on factors such as age and layout of facility, slaughter class, etc. The goal is to meet and preferably exceed regulatory requirements.
7 Facilities 9 CFR CFR (a) Livestock pens, driveways and ramps shall be maintained in good repair. They shall be free from sharp or protruding objects which may, in the opinion of the inspector, cause injury or pain to the animals. Loose boards, splintered or broken planking and unnecessary openings where the head, feet, or legs of an animal may be injured shall be repaired. (b) Floors of livestock pens, ramps, and driveways shall be constructed and maintained so as to provide good footing for livestock. Slip resistant or waffled floor surfaces, cleated ramps and the use of sand, as appropriate, during winter months are examples of acceptable construction and maintenance. (d) Livestock pens and driveways shall be so arranged that sharp corners and direction reversal of driven animals are minimized.
8 Self-Assessment of Facilities Program should address regulatory standard rather than local paradigms Recognize a dynamic process that will change with age of facility, slaughter population, changing environmental conditions, etc.
9 Animal Handling 9 CFR CFR (a) Driving of livestock from the unloading ramps to the holding pens and from the holding pens to the stunning area shall be done with a minimum of excitement and discomfort to the animals. Livestock shall not be forced to move faster than a normal walking speed. (b) Electric prods, canvas slappers, or other implements employed to drive animals shall be used as little as possible in order to minimize excitement and injury. Any use of such implements which, in the opinion of the inspector, is excessive, is prohibited. Electrical prods attached to AC house current shall be reduced by a transformer to the lowest effective voltage not to exceed 50 volts AC. (c) Pipes, sharp or pointed objects, and other items which, in the opinion of the inspector, would cause injury or unnecessary pain to the animal shall not be used to drive livestock.
10 Animal Handling FSIS Directive Once a vehicle carrying livestock enters an official slaughter establishment s premises, the vehicle is considered to be a part of that establishment s premises. The animals within that vehicle are to be handled in accordance with
11 Stunning FSIS Directive Appropriate stunning methods are required for an establishment to be in compliance with the HMSA. When stunning is done correctly, animals feel no pain, are rendered instantly unconscious, and remain unconscious until slaughtered.
12 Many adult cattle that enter slaughter market channels in a disabled state become non- ambulatory during delivery or after arrival at the slaughter facility Transport Livestock Markets Packinghouse
13 Current US regulations state that all non-ambulatory disabled cattle are to be condemned and disposed of in accordance with 9 CFR
14 9CFR 309.2(b) defines non-ambulatory disabled livestock, including cattle as livestock that cannot rise from a recumbent position or that cannot walk, including, but not limited to, those with broken appendages, severed tendons or ligaments, nerve paralysis, fractured vertebral column or metabolic conditions.
15 Down-Cow Humane Handling Additional in-plant measures to minimize handling and discomfort of disabled cattle Minimize handling Provide adequate comfort and protection Timely euthanasia
16 Ambulatory Disabled Cattle
17 Lamenesses Observed in Dairy Cattle at Slaughter Tibial Nerve Paralysis Peroneal Nerve Paralysis
18 Handling Ambulatory Disabled Cattle
19 FSIS Daily Verification of In-Plant Humane Handling: The Humane Handling Checklist Measures for inclement weather Truck unloading Water availability Ante mortem inspection Disabled animals Prod use Slips & falls Stunning efficacy Insensitivity on the bleeding rail Subsets of these tasks are performed daily by veterinarians and/or inspectors. Results are recorded in an electronic database. FSIS Notice 12-05
20 Ante Mortem Findings in Suspect Cattle Est Ante Mortem Suspects to % 20% Surgery 10% 8% Lame Metabolic/Inflam 18% 34% Facial Ocular Misc. 921Suspect Cattle: 885 Holstein Cows, 10 Non-Holstein Dairy, 19 Beef, 7 Bulls
21 Reducing the Ambulatory Disabled Cow Problem Producer quality assurance programs for on-farm humane handling Preconditioning cull dairy cows Direct marketing by larger herds Regulatory controls on the transportation marketing, and slaughter of ambulatory disabled cattle
22 New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program Cattle Welfare Module A Certification Program requiring written SOPs addressing on-farm cattle welfare: Non-ambulatory Cattle Euthanasia Decision Plan Euthanasia Action Plan Lameness Hospital Animals Newborn calves Facilities Movement and handling Routine/Elective Surgical Procedures Transport Decision Plan
23 New York State Cattle Health Assurance Program Animal Welfare Module SOPs reviewed by NYSCHAPS Veterinarian Employees involved in animal care trained and evaluated Signed statement of commitment to animal welfare principles
24 Cornell/Taylor/NCBA Cow Feeding Study 65 head of Holstein cows from auctions Preg. checked and eliminated bred cows 2 pens at Cornell beef T&R center Half implanted with Revalor Fed High grain with Melengesterol Acetate Tested for antibiotic residues and Johnes One pen fed Optaflexx (Ractopamine) last 28 days
25 Adding value through feeding (after culling from the milking herd) Gain significant weight Increase dressing percent Replenish muscle tissue Make yellow fat white Market timing Solving lameness problems (get off concrete) Reduce antibiotic residues Utilize free feeds --- refusal feeds
26 Unseen Cow Defects Johnes Disease Based on tests of fecal samples 24 cows culled 1 mortality 16 (29.1%) diagnosed positive for Johnes Antibiotic Positive Based on Urine Sample 5 (9.4%) initially positive 0 positive at slaughter
27 Direct Marketing by Producers Has the potential to reduce transit time and commingling at cattle markets Recognition of producers consistently delivering high quality cattle (= $?) Problems: Chargeback for condemned cattle can be costly with a BLV herd. Discounting of cattle suspected and residue tested (FAST positives with ceftiofur, subtolerance tetracycline, etc. is a problem).
28 Regulatory Controls on the Movement of Disabled Cattle From a field regulatory standpoint, consistent application is a challenge. When, where, and by whom would transport decisions be made? Ambulatory disabled cattle do not have a high condemnation rate. Therefore, a significant loss of usable protein to the edible channel would occur.
29 Producer Quality Assurance
30 The End Product: Measurable and Meaningful Progress Improved cattle movement Improved facilities that better address the needs of the slaughter population Reduction in prod use Reduction in number of fallen cows in the serpentine Improved equipment maintenance procedures Increased awareness employees, producers and transporters - outreach
31 Process Failure Vortex Poor Communication Failure to address written standard Local Paradigms Aggressive Approach Non-compliance Inability or Unwillingness to comply
32 Industry FSIS Dialog Scheduled periodic discussions of in-plant humane handling Can be included periodically in weekly HACCP meetings Should include HH auditors and animal handling supervisors Audits and findings Facilities improvements Incident reports Non-compliances/corrective actions/preventive measures
33 Effective In-Plant Environment FSIS Verifiable Compliance Industry Documentation Consistent Application of Regulations, Directives, and Notices Dialog Active Monitoring HATS Monitoring Knowledge of Standards Commitment to Principles of Animal Welfare
34 Prioritization Animal Handling
